[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leon1970:
Hi all,

I've updated to the latest Vodafone Rom available on HTC's website (3.14.161.3) and since then then the T9 Add My Word feature no longer works properly.

If I add a new word to the dictionary, 1 of 3 things will happen:

1) Remember it until I open up a new SMS

2) Remember it until I turn the phone off and on (did call this soft reboot previously)

3) Not remember it at all

As you can imagine, it's getting annoying now as I honestly thought, "This must be a ROM update issue, I'm sure there'll be a fix soon". I rang HTC support and of course it's the usual, "Not heard of this before".

I've Googled and searched and I can see that some people have the problem but not as much as I expected. I can only imagine that the problem is experienced more if you use the phone pad style keyboard rather than the full Qwerty.

From what I can find, there's a T9xxx.db in the root of Windows directory that get's updated when you add a new word. But when the dictionary recalls words that it knows, it refers to a T9xxx.db file that's located in a T9 FOLDER within the Windows directory. I've reinstalled the update 3 times since December and each time the feature doesn't work.

In simple terms, it's the same as you picking an item up with your right hand, place the item in your right pocket but when you want it, you use your left hand to go to your left pocket and wonder why it's not there.

Any idea when this can be fixed? Can it be fixed? Is anyone else experiencing this using the phone pad style keyboard layout?

Thanks for any help given.

this has always happened. At least it has for me, on all winmo roms since O2 1.42 rom. It used to do it on my old xda2i too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leon1970:
Eeek! I think I've got soft reboot confused with something else. What I mean is when I turn the phone off and on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
yep me too,

maybe im confusing the save words from whilst typing, , when you add a word, and the xtmywords or whatever its called app?

ive never added the words using the .exe in /windows/ , i do it when typing in int exp or sms, and come across a word, add it there and then, but yea, a soft reset( reboot ) and the added words are gone.

One of the reasons i learned how to cook was so i could hard add words to the HTCMDB.txt file pre flash.

Perhaps the app works differently than adding from the keyboard?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leon1970:
I've added words from within the SMS and from eT9MyWords from the root directory and still it doesn't remember words added after a reboot. Before the update it was working just fine.

I added all I liked through both within the SMS and eT9MyWords and all the words were remembered after a reboot.

So I dug around a little more and found one person who had a similar thing and as far as I can tell they never resolved it.

There's a folder within Windows called ET9IMEDB (\My Device\Windows\ET9IMEDB\). Within this folder are two files, ET9ASDB and ET9RUDB. What used to happen as far as I know, when you add words either within the SMS or using the eT9MyWords.exe, one of the two files within \My Device\Windows\ET9IMEDB\ folder would have the words added to it. When you then type a new SMS, the saved words are recalled from one of these two files.

The 3.14 update now adds the new words to a file outside of the ET9IMEDB folder to a file called ET9RUDBW. But when you type a new SMS, it looks at the files within the \Windows\ET9IMEDB\ folder instead of the ET9RUDBW file outside of \Windows\ET9IMEDB\.

So basically if function is add new word it goes here:

\My Device\ET9RUDBW

If function is recall added new words, it looks here:

\My Device\Windows\ET9IMEDB\

instead of:

\My Device\ET9RUDBW

Question is, how do I point it to look at the file it updates and not one that it used to update?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
as an alternative, THIS method lets you add not just words but sentences (with spaces) too. Great for hard coding addresses.

its not one-word-at-a-time friendly, but useful none the less.

Post 6 of THIS thread has more notes on putting whole sentences into htcmdb.txt
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leon1970:
Ah cool, I'll give that a go. Although it would be nice that Add My Word worked as it did before. Still, nice little work around until I grab a different phone or a patch/fix comes out.

Thank you :)
[Defy Android Development] qpzmaluk:
Does anyone have this problem? I`ve searched and cant find a solution.

I had sense rom on my phone then decided to go back to jboogie rom. I booted into stock recovery(power+vol down) and when i tried to tap bottom right of screen the screen wouldn`t respond so I couldn`t do a factory reset. I then tried volume up=power button to flash sbf through RSDlite. Nothing came on my phone screen telling me to attach usb, it juat stayed blank, although rsdlite said phone was connected so i started to flash sbf anyway. Then on the phone screen it said software update in progress, once it finished flashing, instead of saying rebooting phone on RSDlite it came up with "pass" and the phone wont boot or do anything at all now.

Sorry for long message, but hope someone can help.

Thanks

Mark
[Defy Android Development] arazvan2002:
try to flash a stock rom sbf with rsdlite and after that, do a wipe in recovery mod. to enter recovery press power+ vol down, after the droid apears, push vol up+vol down. You have to see then the stock recovery menu. I did in the same way and is working. I think is now so easy to really brick this phone.
[Defy Android Development] qpzmaluk:
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately when I try to get into stock recovery by pressing power+volume down I dont get anything on the screen at all anymore, nothing happens. Its the same when I press power+volume up to try to flash it too.
[Defy Android Development] Peglezn:
not even white led?

maybe your battery is 2low?

if u see the white led u can still go into bootloader and flash .sbf with rsd lite
[Defy Android Development] andyfletcher:
Hi there,

I can't believe its dead!!

I have tried every rom available and tried out all the .sbf's too. A couple of times i thought i have bricked it but it was always done to user error (or a lack of understanding at times on my part). These Defy's seem to be almost bullet proof!

I had the "pass message" from RSDLite and all i had to do was flash the "2.2 bootonly" sbf to get past it. I have had corrupted boot loader messages and more but it just keeps coming back for more once things the right things are done in the right sequence.

Assuming your battery is ok, I would try installing one of the latest froyo .sbf's with RSDLite 3.9 only completion do a wipe from the stock recovery (hold pwr + vol down). Press vol up and vol down to activate the menu, select wipe with volume up or down, press power to go. The after rooting apply one of the excellent roms from Jboogie & Pays.

Good luck... sure it will be fine.

[Defy Android Development] edition-:
If you have only black screen, you have to flash the latest undowngradable rom you flashed, then you you finally get to moto logo, you will be able to go to recovery and wipe. After it it will boot just fine.
[Defy Android Development] astearon:
I had the exact same problems, i tried to reflash. It ended up not showing anything on the screen in any of the button combinations. It did however show in RSD Lite and after i tried to flash the chinese rom it said "pass" after that i only got a white led and it no longer was detectable through usb. I tried to recharge the battery so i left it on white light with charger plugged over the night... No success. It's now in service and hope they fix it.

I would like to point out to anyone trying to help me that bootloader no longer shows up, neither recovery menu.
[Defy Android Development] andyfletcher:
I had a similar thing when i flattened my battery half way through flashing an .sbf. I borrowed a friends battery, flashed the boot only and all was fine. There is a couple of pointers on the forum on how to charge your battery if you dont have a working rom (it wont charge without one! You have to get the motorola logo followed by the battery animation to charge your battery).

In your case im pretty certain you could have saved yourself the hassle of sending it off for service.

Andy
[Defy Android Development] qpzmaluk:
Thanks for all the replys, I have already had the dead battery a couple of weeks ago and "revived" it by putting the + and _ wires of usb cable into the battery of the defy, but this seems different, I cant get anything to work on it, no roms will flash and all I get is black screen. I do get the white led but only sometimes. It is very change indeed, I will try some of the solutions you guys said tomorrow and let yous know how I got on.

Thanks again

Mark
[Defy Android Development] astearon:
I did not want to risk charging out of wires, i have unlimited warranty on it after all so i gave it to service hoping a fix will be made by guys who know what they where doing (i hope).

In any case i see -qpzmaluk- tried off of wires and nothing happened.
[Defy Android Development] qpzmaluk:
I tried to flash again this morning using all the techniques above but I cant get rsdlite to recognise my phone either now. All i get is when connected to usb is the white led, nothing else happens when i try to go into recovery etc.

Mark
[Defy Android Development] qpzmaluk:
Huge thanks to EDITION :) I got my phone working again.

I did what he said about flashing last undowngradeable rom and surprisingly it came back to life. Brilliant mate, i cant thank you enough.

Mark
[Defy Android Development] Peglezn:
how did u do that? if u said your rsd lite cant recognize your phone?
[Defy Android Development] qpzmaluk:
I kept trying to connect to pc with usb and rsdlite eventually found it so I took the chance of flashing froyo 3.4.3-the one I last had on the phone, and surprisingly this time it went throughht to the end of booting the phone and now I have everything working again including stock recovery etc.

One thing to mention was that I couldn`t get into pwer+vol up or down before I flashed this time I flashed my phone. I just connected it to pc and luckily rsdlite recognised it this time and I just pressed flash button, then eventually phone booted up. So something was wrong and it didn`t flash it the normal way by going into stock recovery on phone but it worked :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] herrschnitzel:
Hello

i have a problem with the Adobe Flash player 10.1 for my HTC Hero.

When I install it I get an error. And some of them i can install but they dont work. It's also not listed in the Market.

I have the 2.3.2 version of Android - Gingerbread

In Youtube there are some videos where it works with a Hero

any solutions?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AdmcPL:
Flash player reqiures ARMv7 processor. Hero has ARMv6, you can't install it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 21productionz:
I'm trying to make a second task bar that just sits there but is always showing even when other apps are open. How would I achieve this? I searched but bring a novice I don't think I was using the right terms.

It wouldn't be something I can drag down. It would be similar to a notification bar but under the task bar. And unlike the task bar it would even show when using there browser and other apps.

Any help is appreciated

[Atrix 4G General] naturefreak85:
So I'm trying to use my Atrix for DLNA and I'm running into a couple issues. Seems to be first off, it shows up on my Logitech Revue but no Media is shown at all. My PS3 doesn't even detect the device, and my PC detects it as a Storage Device but cannot browse it.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same thing or if it's just me but I'm curious if someone else can test this and we can deduce if it's a issue with the software or if I just may have a defective device.

One other interesting thing I have noticed is that ever since I placed movies on my internal storage (haven't tried my SD card yet) randomly the movie audio will play and only stops when I pull down my notification bar. Typically happens after my phone makes a notification sound.

EDIT: Seems to be that if the Movies are on my SD card (not internal storage) they don't randomly start playing the audio when a notification sound goes off.

Hope this is the one....
[G Tablet General] macawmatt:
That is different then the one that I mentioned, hate that there can be the same name for so many different fonts.

Still waiting to hear back from my other forum. I don't have that font personally yet.

How much text are you using? If the guy doing the decal for you is worth his skills then he should be able to vectorize a sample image of the font from myfonts.com and use that. I've done that plenty of times at work when I just needed word or two in a font I didn't have.

Hi all,

I just bought lg500 and I Love it!

My problem is, I can`t sync any of my mobiles`s contact with PC, when I choose, sync in pc suit, it cloeses unexpectedly.

I have a huge contact list on my other Black and white mobile, which I will prefer more to type on pc first and then sync, rather than typing it on touchscreen.

Can somebody help me?

There are many people complaining about the LG PCSuite, including me. I stopped using it the very first day. Instead, I would recommend MyPhoneExplorer, a free app that I used for many years for my Sony Ericsson devices and now supports Android phones. You will also need a client app from the Market to connect with the PC. It has the exact same name.

Hey I just found out how to do that! THANKSS VERY MUCH for your responses tough!, I am sharing that with all of you in case if you find it useful

So, what I did is,

I just inserted my SIM card in old mobile, copied all contacts From phone to SIM,

then,

I inserted that SIM in O1, and copied those contacts from SIM to Phone. And thats all!

[Galaxy S II General] Ronaldo_9:
Hey guys been checking out the specs of GS2 and I like it..they have not confirmed which CPU its using and it maybe Samsungs or tegra.

anyways I would actually get this since atrix will take ages before hits UK BUT and i mean BUT 4.3 inc screen is putting me off. 4" is just about acceptable for me. Also that size of a phone is going to reduce the total sale of the handset, Even my friends who work in phone stores say they find it hard to sell bigger screen phone's. SGS was ok to sell because it was light and not that much bigger in total size then an iphone but they found it hard to sell phone's like Desire HD especially to female customers. I have GS1 currently.

Any one else being put off by larger phone?
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
It has been comfirmed that its gonna be using Exynos in some regions and Tegra2 in other regions... same for the Super Amoled Plus screen. Some regoins will not get that.

As for the size my hands are big enough.

I would say if your hands arnt that big i wouldnt buy it. Its like someone with massive hands using the Galaxy Tab for a phone.. it just wont work.
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:
no..............
[Galaxy S II General] erahk64:
The difference in size between SGS1 and SGS2 is very small.

SGS2 is 2 mm wider, 3 mm longer but also thinner and lighter.
[Galaxy S II General] Ronaldo_9:
if only they release a 4.3 Exynos version and 4" tegra that would be sweet.. oh well gonna have to wait to see what else comes out soon.
[Galaxy S II General] Locster126:
I love big screen phones, using a desire hd and galaxy tab and tried once going back from 4.3 " to 4" and found that I very much prefer the bigger screen. Even though the battery on my dhd sucks the only reason I haven't switched phones yet is because I can't find any with the same screen size, but now that the galaxy 2 is coming I will get one to replace my dhd.

I'm actually eyeing the samsung infuse with the 4.5" screen but I don't think it will be released in europe :-(

[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
I have a feeling this phone isn't gonna feel like a big screen phone, due to how thin and light it is. If your really worried just wait until you can paw one in the shops.

Well I own an hd2, which has a 4.3" screen. It isn't big, and I have the hands of a teenage girl. It fits nicely, and isn't much of a nuisance in my pocket either. So I dun think you should really worry about the 4.3" screen.
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
Also, according to the Engadget article, the bezel is very small, so you get a lot of screen without carrying a cinder block around.

[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
Certainly the size will be offputting to some, not me though.

Interesting that the increased screen size seems to be because of the real stripe matrix in use here, doesn't bode well for Samsung adopting qHD anytime soon does it?
[Galaxy S II General] martino2k6:
I personally find the retina display and qHD nothing more than just a marketing gimmick.

When I had my 800x480 Desire next to my girlfriend's iPhone 4 I couldn't see the benefit of it. Websites often fit on the screen when in desktop mode, but most things were too small to read and I had to zoom in anyway just like I would have had to do on my Desire. The rest looked pretty much the same. But who knows, maybe it's just that my eyes suck.

In the end, I'd rather have a display that is better at saving battery rather than showing me detail which my eyes can't see.
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
I like higher resolutions for browsing/document display, more important with a view to HDMI mirroring, qHD on a screen this size should be able to display text that is readable fully zoomed out, so I don't buy it as just a marketing gimmick. Its not a biggy in terms of this phone, but when qHD becomes more standard and more apps are customised for it then it may become an issue, but thats really a worry for future handsets.
[Galaxy S II General] Ronaldo_9:
Iphone4 has much better battery life the desire, i had one for 5 months. retina display is the best overall quality display in terms of image and text quality. I'm an Android person and since i buy my handsets off line, i pay the higher prices for phones but any one says that there is a better display then iphone4's is talking crap because they just hate apple or they cant tell difference due to their eye sight.

Any screen that uses Pentile Matrix to me sucks, I love how amoled works but pentile sucks.

With qHD using pentile well i'd rather use super amoled plus but would need to see it inhand. Pentile is what is found on amoled and super amoled like desire/SGS, the text look poor when zoomed out and fuzzy with 800x480 resolution you normally shouldnt have to zoom in to see text on a 4" but you do. For me text looked better on desire then SGS because it was 3.7" at same resolution so the pentile was squeezed together in 3.7” .

I’v had iphone 4, desire, SGS and nokia n900 in front of me at once and I would honestly say websites and text looked great on n900 and you can read without zooming (landscape mode on all). Iphone4 image quality and text is fantastic you don’t even see a pixel due to the density. On desire and SGS you can see each dot that makes up a text or icon on desktop. But videos look great on super amoled and blacks well they look great as the led are turned off.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile_matrix_family
[Galaxy S II General] martino2k6:
The HDMI mirroring and a higher resolution screen is a fair point. I know that when playing video it should output it in the video's resolution (so no mirroring), but I wonder how it deals with pictures.

Yeah, it does have a better battery life. The multitasking on iOS is more limited than on Android, so there's a better guarantee that there won't be things running in the background that are eating the battery away, and the CPU is down-clocked too. Furthermore they use Li-Pol batteries, which is something that I'd like to see on other devices too. However it is well known that AMOLED screens consume significantly less energy than any other screen technology available at the moment, so if you stuck one into an iPhone the battery would be even better.

But seriously, aren't you taking all this a bit too personally? I'm no Apple hater, not sure why you made me one. Just because I had an opinion that differs from yours? Well, how mature. I was merely stating what I found out when I was playing with the two devices, didn't imply that what I said was the holy grail and the only truth.
